Secret Crush Lampwork Heart Beaded Earrings

Come on now, admit it. You've had one...we've all had one at one time or another. You know what I'm talking about, that......Secret Crush.

Okay, okay. I'll start us off -Hi, my name is Stephanie and I've had a secret crush. In junior high there was this boy, of course he didn't even know I existed. To this day, I still don't know why (although I suspect there was some conniving with his best friend) he gave me his phone number and told me to call him sometime. Sounds easy enough and boy was I blown away.

So one night I worked up my courage, picked up that phone and made that call. Needless to say, it was an awkward phone call -I'm sure our young ages had a lot to do with it -but for the most part, it was like pulling hair out to make conversation with him. We hung up and that was the end of that. From afar, I still had a secret crush on him, although I had learned that secret crushes are more beautiful than sometimes the real deal!

Heather: Yes, I do love lampwork. The look is just so unique and beautiful. I've actually taken a hot glass class and lampworking is not easy. I suppose once you grasp it, it's fine. I have a few of my own beginner lampwork beads that I have yet to get into designs. But one might be coming soon.

Alex: Thanks for the secret crush connection. I just KNEW someone else out there has gone through one.
